What is the total length of the trailer? What is the length of the ATV deck area? Thanks
-
I have one of these. I don't use it for archery hunts because it seems pretty noisy.

You sure it's not a scam to get your CC info?.....just throwin' it out there.

I bought a Leupold RX-1000i TBR rangefinder a couple years ago, and within six months the bottom LCD segments of the readout started to fade. I continued to use it because it wasn't that bad. This last hunt season it got worse. I had to cover the lens to see the yardage readout. I contacted Leupold to get return info and the CS guy made the statement that "they would most likely send me a new one free of charge because they want to keep their customers happy". I hung up the phone thinking, yeah right...we'll see. Well, around three weeks after sending it in, I get a brand new RX-1200i TBR! The display is excellent and works great. Thank you Leupold!!!

I have never been out specifically shed hunting in the spring...just keep a sharp eye when I am out for fun and spring turkey. I usually find sheds during fall hunting, which is a real treat. I have never sold a shed. I like them too much to sell. I have a pile that I display in my house. The money is usually what drives the lunacy...makes people go nuts. I prefer not to participate. Years ago I was a member of Sheriff Joe's posse. I presented this idea to a G&F officer once. He didn't like the idea much. It seems it would be a good idea to have a G&F posse program to have more eyes and ears in the outdoors. The officers are spread way too thin. Basically, have a radio to report violations real time, take pictures if possible, and be a good witness. Heck, if we had the program/support of the G&F, I would even buy my own radio. We all witness illegal/unethical behavior, and I would love to be able to do something about it.

Does it do slow pitch softball with decent arch?

I believe it was Daniel Boon who said "I've never been lost, just mighty confused for several days".

An old cowboy once told me, he doesn't get lost...just "tangled up".

I have hunted with the X2 for a few years. I have the same complaint with many of the pack designs for not accommodating holster carry. With the X2 I put the holster on the left side pack belt, appendix carry. I t works well and is easy to draw. I considered cutting off the pouch on the right side to carry traditional, but didn't want to disfigure the pack. I recently bought the Outdoorsman Pack. It has a belt system for mounting holsters and such.

I can hear 8000 and 12000 with the right ear. None of them with the left ear. I also have tinnitus real bad. Background noise kills my hearing. Don't like a lot of bass in music either.

When I belonged to Az Christian Archers, we had a group night and pizza about once a quarter. It was a lot of fun. Not sure if they still reserve to groups or not. Something to consider for a CWT group night.

Nice! So it requires a 8' bed. Or can it be put on a 6.5' bed with tailgate down?
-
You'd have to shoot both to find out.....total score would be 5 years loss of hunting privileges and about $2000 in fines
-
How many rounds through it? Is it the 4.0 or 3.3 barrel? Thanks
-
A handgun round won't dent it or leave a divet? Mostly shoot .40, 9mm and .22. Thanks

I have a Burris Fullfield II 4.5 - 14 x 44 with BDC reticle on my Rem 700 .270. I got it from a ebay store about 5 years ago. Retail was around $400...I got it for $260. It has been a great scope for my capabilities, which is out to 400 yards. The glass is very bright and clear. I keep thinking of upgrading, but it keeps performing, so I'm in no hurry. Burris has a newer model that replaced the Fullfield, I think around $400.

Just think of the light gathering capability of 300mm tube though! You could spot for deer at midnight!
-
These are a sweet shooting gun. I have the compact grip version of this in .40 cal...love it!
-
I put in for those exact hunts! Hopefully I'll see you there! Indeed you will HUNT....and hunt and hunt. I had late archery bull unit 22-S a couple years ago. It was real tough to find bulls. Glassed up a few small bulls and was able to put a stalk on a couple, but no luck. Do a lot of scouting after the rut...'cause the bulls move out after that. You can be successful...with a lot of work and luck.

I have the same experience with the above comments. I also take the multi-vitamines and the recovery shakes after a workout.

Expensive optics - anyone have buyers regret???
Viper replied to mattys281's topic in Optics and tripods
I had the same problem with my 10 year old Trinovids. Sent them in and they fixed them for free. I got a lot of use out of them over the last 10 years....now they're good for another 10 years. That's a big consideration. Buying top of the line glass is like an insurance policy included in the price. I used to think I spotted a lot of game through my Pentax 12x50's, until I got my Leica 12x50's. Holy cow! What a difference. Now I just love to sit behind them for hours....and see a lot more game. -
I have a set of older Midlands. You can silence everything and set the call button to vibrate. If your buddy calls you, all you hear/feel is vibrate. Not sure if the newer versions can be totally silenced. The same buddy bought a similar Midland model a couple years ago and we could not figure out how to totally silence them, so he took them back. A few years ago I was going to buy the Midland "Bubba" radios because they had minimal features and could be silenced...but no vibrate feature. To me, this is an important feature, so I didn't buy them.

Looks like the same one they sell at REI. I have a few light weight stools, but went back to a cushy pad on the ground.
